“Are you also my mare?! What the fuck was I fucking thinking! Fucking someone else’s wives and I say that stupid shit to his first wife?! GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!”Lock screamed punching a hole in the wall.

"Why didn’t I trust my instincts?! Why the fuck couldn’t I’ve just said no and walk away?! FUCKING HELL!” He roared.

“Fucking hell…” Lock growled as he sat on his bed burying his face in his hands.

“What the fuck am I gonna do…this wasn’t supposed to happen,” he said to himself.

"I shouldn’t even be here, let alone do something like that…” Lock slowly got up and grabbed his jacket and shirt and put them both on.

"Maybe I should check on the mirror and see if I can use my power on it to get me home…” he sighed sadly as he put on his boots.

Before he was able to fly off, Lock heard a knock on the door making him pause and glance over his shoulder. Part of him just wanted to leave and ignore whoever was on the other side but that would just spur questions which is something he didn’t want to happen since he already had a lot on his plate. Lock sighed as he slowly walked over to the door and was about to open it, until he caught a whiff of himself and he realized he still reeked of sex. Lock quickly used his flames to burn away any excess musk off of him so he wouldn’t have any lingering odors on him. Once he was done he snapped his fingers deactivating the barrier and opened the door, revealing Selene who looked up at him curiously since he was fully clothed.

“Selene? What are you doing here at this hour?” Lock asked trying his best to hide his damaged voice after his screaming.

"I came to see how you were doing." She replied.

“Oh well…” Lock trailed off not sure how to respond.

“I’ll be honest with you, I’m…thinking of heading to the Crystal Empire and getting the mirrored to take me home…” Lock admits shocking Selene.

"What? W-why?!? I thought you were staying to help."

“I fucked up, that’s why!” Lock shot back walking away from the door and sitting on a chair.

“I did and said things just moments ago and I may have ruined my friendship with Wulfric and his wives. How the hell can I remain in this world if I’m unable to face them again?” He questions.

“I’d be better off if I just left now so I wouldn’t embarrass myself anymore. If you knew what I did you’d think I’m such a fucking scumbag…” Lock sighed burring his face in his hands again.

"What do you mean?" The young princess inquired.

"How could you have ruined their relationship?"

“It’s…complicated.” Lock sighed looking up at her but then looking away.

"You’re young, you wouldn’t really understand.”

"Understand what? That my aunts shared another man between themselves?"

Lock was shocked to hear such an answer coming from the young filly when she said with an amused smirk.

"You weren't exactly quiet."

“Well that’s just it…” Lock said as he said while blushing.

“I did it with them and they’re married. And I said and did things to Applejack that made me feel like I…was trying to steal her from Wulfric,” Lock said in shame as he stood up and walked over to the wall and leaned his head against it.

“I didn’t know what came over me, they said it was ok to be with them but this feeling of guilt is eating away at me. I know Applejack and Rainbow Dash are loyal to Wulfric in their marriage but what does that make me? Just some fuck buddy they invited in the heat of the moment?” Lock said as he hit the wall with is fist.

“I’ve only been here almost a week and I managed to screw up probably one of the best relationships I’ve ever had. All I can think about now is to spare myself any more shame and return to my world and finish the war that’s still raging with my apprentice,” Lock sighed sadly.

“Besides why do you care if I leave?” Lock questions looking over his shoulder while the princesses cheeks began to flare up as she stammered trying to find an answer.

"W-well um..."

“Look don’t bother answering,” Lock said as he made his way to the balcony doors.

“The sooner I'm gone the better, might even track down Blueballs and collect his head while I’m at it.” Before Lock could open the doors, Selene mustered up her courage and quickly walked over to him and wrapped her arms around Lock from behind surprising Lock.

“Selene, what’re you…?”

"Please don't go!" She pleaded holding him tight.

“Selene…” Lock sighed.

“You shouldn’t get so close to me, I’m impure.” He looked over his shoulder and saw she had tears in her eyes as she continued to hug him as tight as she could.

“Why do you shed tears for The Devil’s Hand like myself?”

"Cause you're my friend!" She shouted.

"Aren't you?"

Lock didn’t answer as he gently removed Selene’s arms and turned to face her. Lock then unfurled his wings and spread them out wide as he activated his flames causing embers to flicker off his body and small cinders to fall from his wings.

“Could you truly befriend someone who’s soul is dark and filled to the brim with thousands of souls he’s cut down and murdered? Would you befriend someone who’s never once batted an eye to those who pleaded for their lives?” Lock leaned down to look deep into her eyes.

“Friendship aside, who would even give me the time of day to actually share their feelings with me and care for me like those do when they love each other?”

"I would, if you'll give me a chance."

Again Lock didn’t answer as he starred into her eyes and saw her conviction behind her words. Though as she starred back Lock could see something else. This young mare didn’t just care for Lock as a friend, she cared for him because she sees him as something more.

“Do you truly care for me that much you’d be willing to share your feelings with me?” Lock questions.

Selene’s cheeks tinted a bit but her resolve stayed strong as she nodded her head in response. Then, for the first time in a long time, Selene saw something she never expected to see from someone like Lock. Small tears began to fall from his eyes as his face became more pained as he let his wings droop and he fell to the ground on his knees silently whimpering.

“Why do you care about me so much…?” Lock asked looking to the floor.

“Why would you share your feelings with someone like me? I’m not worthy of your feelings nor your friendship. All I do is fight and kill…yet you say I deserve to be happy? After what I did to Applejack and Rainbow Dash?” Lock looked up at Selene with a pained expression.

“Are you also saying they’d accept me as well?”

"I'm sure they would." She said with confidence in her voice.

"If you don't believe me, try heading back to Uncle Wulfrics room. You'll see."

Lock looked out the window and saw in the distance that the light from Wulfrics room was still on. He looked back up at Selene as she smiled at Lock and nodded her head. Lock then stood up and turned around and opened the doors to fly back but turned around to face Selene.

“Selene,” Lock said as he walked towards her and brogue her into a hug. His wings also enveloped her making her blush but she returned the embrace since she felt so safe in his wings.

“Thank you…” he said before catching her off guard by planting a small kiss on her forehead making her eyes widen. Lock smiled as he stepped back and took to the skies leaving a very red faced Selene.

Lock soon arrived back at Wulfrics room and saw them all still awake, still naked, talking amongst themselves not yet noticing Lock. When his eyes set upon Applejack, the feeling of guilt crept up his spine making him go a little rigid as he struggled to take a step forward. But Selene’s words and eyes flashed in his mind and pushed him to keep going as he slowly opened the doors gaining their attention.

“Uh…hey everyone,” Lock said looking away with a guilty expression.

"I take it you sorted things out?" Asked Wulfric while taking a sip of ale.

Lock winced at the mere sound of Wulfrics voice and without hesitation he stood up as straight as he could and bowed his head.

“I would like to apologize for the inappropriate things I said during our…time together and I accept any punishment you have for me. I am many things but if there’s one thing I would never do is violate the sanctity if one’s marriage to another. However what I said not only did just that but I almost disrespected you all, taking the cowards way out by…threatening to leave this world and returning to my own,” Lock confesses surprising everyone.

“I just want to let you all know that you’re all incredible people and I would never want to ruin what you have with each other. I guess, in a way, I was jealous because I wanted what you have and I overstepped my boundaries,” He said while still bowing.

“If you all choose to not forgive me, then I understand.”

In response, Rainbow Dash threw him onto the bed with a grin.

"If you wanna make it up to us then you'll help Wulfric buck us all night~."

“Wh-what!?” Lock said in shock as Rainbow through off his jacket and shirts.

“B-but I said such disrespectful things to You Applejack, how could this be the alternative?” He asks as she takes off his pants until he was just in his boxers.

"Dirty talk is perfectly natural hon." Applejack responded while crawling on top of him.

"You should hear what our husband calls us~."

Lock found himself hypnotized by her breasts just dangling out of reach while Rainbow proceeded to pull down his boxers.

"Well go on, fondle em~."

“I…oh fuck it.” Lock said in defeat as he reached up and grabbed both pairs of breasts making them both moan.

“For the record, I still feel kinda bad for saying things like are you my mare? and all that.” Lock said as he pinched both their nipples and suckled on Rainbows.

“You two are still Wulfrics wives and I’m just along for the ride.”

"Like Applejack said, it's natural." Rainbow sighed with pleasure before pulling him off.

"And you know, it's kinda unfair you didn't do me next~." She teased as she bent over to spread her flank for him.

Lock rolled his eyes with a smirk as he got off the bed confusing the mares.

“Watch this,” was all he said as he closed his eyes. Soon his body began to change, his skin grew crimson red fur as he grew a few more inches, his nose stretched into a muzzle with a strong jawline and his hair grew out into a long mane and changed from its natural black to fire red and orange as it flickered like a nonexistent fire along with a tail that grew from the back of his waist that flickered similarly to his mane. From Lock’s forehead grew a horn that was at least 7in long as he finished his transformation. There, standing in front of both slack jawed mares, along with a very surprised Wulfric, was a crimson red furred and winged Alicorn with tribal marked arms that represented his cutie marks. Lock opened his eyes to reveal a deep amber color as he looked down to his new form and smirked.

“Wasn’t expecting it to work this well.” he said in a more rough voice that sent chills down Rainbow’s and Applejacks spines.

“But I’m pleased with how it turned out.” he said while glancing at Rainbow and Applejack.

“Wouldn’t you agree?”

Both mares were stunned at this sudden transformation as lock proceeded to mount Rainbow Dash again.

"Hold it!" Said Wulfric.

"I say we double team her."

“Sure, you want the front door or the back?” Lock said he he snaked his hands around and groped Rainbows breast and blew into her ear making her gasp and shudder.

"Since you're now an Alicorn, I rather not risk you knocking up my wife."

Rainbow snickered at her husbands comment before her legs were suddenly spread open by Lock who proceeded to nibble her ear.

“If it’s any consolation." Lock said as he prodded Rainbows puckered hole with his equine tool.

“I don’t really think I’m ready to be a dad anyway, regardless what form I take.” he said as he pressed inwards making Rainbow gasp.

“Besides, what was that you said about giving Beorn more siblings, little mare?” He whispered in her ear.

Rainbow only murred in pleasure as her husband proceeded to enter her next while asking.

"So are you really his mare now Dashie?"

"Of course not ya big doof!" She said with a grin as they proceeded to pound her in rhythm.

Both studs jackhammered into the pegasus as she screamed in pleasure. Lock glanced to his side and saw Applejack digging into into her marehood and suckling on her breast at the steamy spectacle.

“We’ll be with you in a moment, my dear.” He said as he and Wulfric continued to pound away at Rainbow dash.

"He’s looking at you.” Lock said into Rainbow’s ear as he thrusted up in her ass.

"He’s wants you just as much as you need him.” he whispered as he groped her breasts and pinched his nipples.

"I may be extra, but you’re his mare until the end,” Lock said as he rubbed her breasts causing milk to leak out.

“Tell him what you want him to do."

Rainbow leaned forward just enough to wrap her arms around her husband and looked into his eyes saying.

"Wulfric honey?"

"Yes my love?"

"I want another baby~."

Wulfric grinned as he proceeded to get more rough with his thrusts as she held on tight and even proceeded to bite down on his shoulder.

"Grrr that's my girl!~" Wulfric growled before she looked up to kiss him.

“Ngh! Shit her ass is tight, I’m almost there.” Lock grunted.

Wulfric began to slow down just as they were about to finish and in a commanding voice that aroused Rainbow he said.

"Beg for it~."

Rainbow grinned at this side of her husband and loved when he became bossy, especially when they were in bed.

"Please Wulfric! Get me pregnant again~!!"

Within moments, Rainbow Dash gasped with eyes wide open as both her partners filled her to the brim with seed and she was loving every second of it.

"Lock, there is something you should know." Wulfric said after catching his breath.

"The day my clan rescued Rainbow and Applejack, they were almost broken."

At first Lock didn't understand and listened while pulling out of Rainbow.

"After they were treated for their injuries, the shamans discovered there were some lasting effects. Whenever they get aroused, they sometimes lose control and can't help themselves so if my clan came a day later then..."

Wulfric stopped not wanting to think about the consequences before Applejack kissed him.

"Shhh don't think about it sugarcube."

Lock was silent for a moment as he thought about what Wulfric told him and got an idea.

He coated his hands in Hellfire making Wulfric curious.

"What are you doing?" The king inquired.

“Your tale is a little similar to what I’ve been dealing with in my reality,” Lock said as he gently placed a hand on each mare.

“I don’t wish to bring up bad memories, but in my reality Dainn had the same sick collar system as I’m sure this worlds Dainn did. Most of the mares who were obedient or broken beyond measure had suffered greatly and Flash and I believed they were unable to bounce back,” Lock explained as the flame covered their heads.

“But then I realized something, if my Hellfire can heal wounds and treat the week, why not also use it to heal the mind?” He said as Applejack and Rainbow suddenly felt a calming sense in their minds.

“Ever since I discovered my Hellfire’s capabilities I used it to cleanse each mare and female I came across, that includes any stallions who were brainwashed.” Lock lifted his hands and the flame on each mare extinguished as Lock fell backwards panting heavily.

“It…takes a lot…out of me…but the results were…well worth it. Since now every mare I’ve cleansed is living without broken minds our tortured souls.” Lock said as he glanced up at Wulfric who was tearing up.

“And now your wives have been cleansed of any lingering curse Dainn inflicted upon them.” he said with a weak but warm smile.

"Mmm I don't know." Said Applejack spreading her legs.

"I'm still pretty aroused here~."

“I didn’t say you wouldn’t be aroused anymore.” Lock said he sat back up.

“Just that your minds will be more clear so basically saying,” Lock said glancing at Wulfric.

“Go as wild as you want with no worries.” he said with a somewhat sinister grin.

Applejack wasted to time in straddling him as he became aroused once more.

"Mmm~. Mind filling the front this time~?"

“You sure?” Lock said as he positioned himself.

"It's only fair sugarcu-OOH!!" Her words were cut short by her husbands surprise entry into her flank as he proceeded to ram her.

"Grrr no way you're leaving me out this time!!" Wulfric growled while pulling her mane in a rather rough manner.

“Well who am I to refuse such a lovely offer from a lovely lady?” Lock smirked as he pounded up into her snatch making her cry out more in pleasure.

“I can see why Wulfric loves you so much, Applejack,” Lock said as he grabbed both her breasts and thrusted inside her along with Wulfric.

“You're as gorgeous as any mare I’ve met and you feel so good to the touch, inside and out.” he said as he latched on to one of her nipples.

"And she's not afraid to get rough!" Wulfric added while pulling her mane and smacking her right on the cutie mark.

"Mmm love you to sweetie~" The farm mare murred as she leaned back to kiss her beloved.

Lock responded in kind by snaking his hand down and repeating what he did before by rubbing and flicking her clit making her yelp and cry out in pure ecstasy. Lock and Wulfric continued to plow the farm mare, making her cum may times to the point that the bedsheets below him were stained with her juices, she even switched from kissing him and Wulfric, to his surprise with each time their tongues battling for supremacy. Soon Lock and Wulfric felt a familiar tension in their groins making him look deep in Applejacks glazed eyes.

“Ngh, I’m close,” Lock grunted as his thrusts became quicker.

“Where do you want it?” He asked.

"Mmm inside, both of you!!~" She squealed while clutching onto him. Applejack screamed at the top of her lungs as both her entrances were filled to the brim, her entire body was limp and her lungs were practically out of air.

"Oh star apples..." she huffed before they laid her on the bed to rest.

Lock sighed as he laid there panting glancing at the mare to his side. As Lock glanced away to look at the ceiling, he saw in the corner of his eye a dim glow but when he looked all he saw was still Applejack so he brushed it off as his imagination.

“Never thought I’d have sex twice in one night,” Lock said as he pulled himself up and sat on the edge of the bed.

“This Alicorn form of mine sure is new change of pace, that’s for sure,” he said examining his equine body.

"Night's not over yet big boy~." Said Rainbow Dash as she dangled her breasts over him.

"How's about a protein shake?"

“Jeez, I’m willing to bet this is some old wet dream of yours to mate with an Alicorn?” Lock said as he crawled over to Rainbow Dash until he was on top of her again.

"Nah. I just like flaunting what I got." She boasted before feeling him latch onto her right breast.

"How about you hon? Care for some apple milkshake?" The farm mare offered her husband by turning to her side with her chest still exposed. Wulfric happily obliged as he pinned her to the bed and bit down on her right breast.

"My aren't we greedy~?"

“He’s your husband,” Lock teased as he looked down at Rainbow.

“Now then, little mare, would you like to continue where we left off last?” He purred as his tool rubbed against her marehood.

"Mmm sorry stud, I'm spent but you can still have a drink~."

“Eh, fair enough,” Lock shrugged as he went back to drinking her milk. As Lock suckled and bit each of her nipples, Rainbow moaned and hugged his head deeper into her bosoms. However once again Lock a glimpse of a dim glow in the corner of his eye but he brushed it off as his imagination again, later he seemed to have sucked out the last of her milk as he released her nipple and gave her one last passionate kiss before breaking away and smiling while looking into her eyes

“I believe the drink bar has closed for the night.” Lock said as he booped her muzzle making her giggle.

"How about another kiss?" Rainbow winked while pointing to her cutie mark.

As Lock put his jacket on he smirked and smacked her cutie mark earning a yelp of surprise but soon had her lips stolen by his as he gave her flank one last rub and a squeeze as he broke away.

“Goodnight, Skittles,” Lock said with a wink as he walked towards the hallway door.

"Skittles?"

Meanwhile

Unaware of the events unfolding at the castle, a small detachment of royal guards was sent to watch over the cadets during their survival training.

“This is ridiculous!” Shrieked one of the recruits who was none other than Top Notch. “Why must I degrade myself by dirtying myself in this horrible place. It’s no thanks to that winged ape, he should have sided with me and instead he is the reason I’m stuck with you pathetic lot!” He snapped at the other pony and Caribou recruits around him.

“Aw shut it, Top Notch!” One of the recruits spat.

“It’s your own fault for not keeping that muzzle of yours shut in the first place!”

“Yeah,” another adds.

“You should know by now that Lord Wulfric is a benevolent king and he and his clan are our allies. That’s no reason for you to call Prince Beorn such things as you did!”

“Honestly though, Sir Dimitri should not have held himself back and put that animal down in the dirt where he belongs,” Top Notch huffed irritated.

"Hey! Save your whinging for when you're old and fat!" Yelled one of the guards as they began to make camp.

"We'll rest here tonight, tomorrow you forage for food."

“Hmph! Hey you there!” Top Notch said pointing at a young buck recruit.

“Make yourself useful and make my tent for me!”

The buck scoffed and ignored the command while pitching his own tent.

"You'll find no servants here cadet. Out here, you pull your own weight."

Top Notch huffed in utter disappointment and irritation as he struggled to pitch up his tent, which resulted in him smacking himself in the head many times much to the other recruits amusement.

“How long you think he’ll last in this training?” One of the colts asks a buck.

"I give him five minutes." The buck replied when they noticed Prince Imperius had already pitched his tent while Beorn leaned himself against a tree after starting a fire.

"Cadet Beorn! Where is your tent?" Shouted the second guard.

"I prefer to sleep out in the open sir. Less chances for animals to sneak up on me."

“Huh, I never thought of it that way,” one of the pony cadets said as he sat beside Beorn.

“Did you always do stuff like this with King Wulfirc?”

"Only when he took me hunting. He never brought me or my sister with him when our moms went though." He replied scratching his head in confusion.

"Weird right?"

“I guess, but man that Dimitri human,” the colt said.

“He sure knows his stuff, I was surprised when you were actually able to best him in combat.”

“Yeah,” a buck recruit said as he sat on the other side.

“No offense Prince Beorn, but I thought it was Sir Dimitri who was to be victorious. He certainly gave you a run for your bits but you managed to come out on top anyway.”

"Mmm....I don't consider that a victory." Beorn grumbled while warming his hands.

“Why not? You broke his sword and disarmed him as per the rules stated.” the buck said tilting his head.

"Did you think i'd stop if my father hadn't intervened?"

The cadets became silent after hearing hus question and realized what might have happened during that fight.

“Oh…well I mean I’m sure Sir Dimitri didn’t take it personally." the colt said placing a hand on his shoulder.

“Yeah, Sir Dimitri seemed to be very supportive of you despite everything. He even offered to help train you which is pretty cool,” the buck said.

“Though one thing kinda makes me curious, what was up with how his hands suddenly caught on fire?”

“Oh yeah, that’s some pretty cool magic he’s able to use. I wonder if there’s a spell book somewhere that can teach something like that?” The colt wondered.

"Alright story time's over." Said their drill instructor with a firm tone.

"Since you like being outdoors cadet beorn, you can take first watch."

"Yes sir."

"And somepony help Top Notch before he strangles himself!"

All the recruits looked to Top Notch and saw he had constricted himself in his tent and heard muffled yelps. Two of them groaned as they went over to help the poor noble colt as Beorn starred at his camp fire. His mind trailed back to the spar he had with Lock and he looked at his hands, remembering each blow he took on his sword and body Lock landed on him.

“When next we spar and you have better control of your berserker’s soul, you’ll be the one on the ground!” Lock’s words echoed in his mind.

As the hour grew late, Beorn slept soundly against the tree while crickets and other creatures sang their songs into the night air yet despite the calm atmosphere, the young prince kept a hunting knife hidden under his cloak and listened carefully to every sound coming from the forest.

CRACK

Beorns ears twitched at the sound of a twig but he did not flinch nor open his eyes for fear of alerting who or whatever was approaching.

“Look, there they are…just as master Blueblood said.”

“Look at them, so peaceful and content. Shame we have to kill most of them.”

“Just remember the mission, capture the son of the sun whore and slice the half breed son of a slut’s neck.”

“And the guards?”

“They die too, especially the filthy Caribou guards.”

“Hey, there’s some cute mare and doe recruits here. What do you say we take some back with us for some fun after we succeed~? That doe’s got a nice rack.”

“You know that doesn’t sound half bad, grab that young mare over there. She’s got an ass I could buck for days~”

Beorn gripped his knife rightly as he sensed his assailants draw nearer.

“Let’s just gut him and be done with it, the sooner we’re finished hear the sooner we can regroup with the others after they captured that moon brat and killed the bastard King’s daughter.”

The moment the first assassin turned the prince over, the knife sprang out from the cloak and into his chest, as he looked up he saw the icy cold glare of a born killer before slipping off the blade and onto the ground.

"INTRUDERS!!" Beorn screamed alerting the whole camp before kicking the second one into his fire pit.

The intruder in the fire screamed before rolling off, almost immediately the rest of the camp woke up and was startled by the number of attackers surrounding them. Everyone in the camp then went in a frenzy of brandishing their weapons and fighting amongst each other. Three of the intruders charged at Beorn since he was one of their main objectives, Beorn shot to his feet and took his stance as they came at him from all sides

“Death to the son of the false king!” One of the intruders cries as he thrusts his sword.

“Glory to the true king Blueblood!” The other shouts swinging his sword.

"Defend the prince!!" Shouted the royal guards as they charged forward to defend Beorn while a few others protected Imperius.

As the fighting grew more tense, Top Notch cowered in fear and tried to crawl away from the battle as he listened to the sounds around him.

“And just where do you think you’re going?”

Top Notch flinched as he looked up to see a stallion bandit look down at him with an evil smirk.

“P-please…show mercy!” Top Notch pleaded.

“No mercy to those who serve the bitch Princesses.” the stallion mocked as he raised his weapon. The young noble thought for sure that this would be his end and prepared for the worst.

SHINK!!

Blood splattered on the colts face yet it wasn't his and after blinking a few times he saw the tip of a spear sticking out from the bandits chest.

Horrified, Top Notch watched the bandit fall and behind him was Imperius who had his arm out indicating he was the one who threw it. The prince smirked as he went back to fighting the other bandits as Top Notch just sat there.

“He…saved me?” He muttered. Top Notch looked down at his hands as a feeling of adrenaline bursted through his soul as he stood up and brandished his sword.

“THANK YOU MY PRINCE!!” Top Notch cried as he started fighting like a mad colt against the surprised bandits.

"RETREAT!! RETREAAT!!" One of them shouted as they began to run for their lives with some being captured in their escape.

As the cowards ran for their lives the prisoners were rounded up and brought to the center, each struggling to free themselves after being bound.

“Judging by the sigil on their cloaks, they were sent by Blueblood,” a guard sneers after seeing the mark on one of their daggers.

“Seems like they were after Prince Imperius and Prince Beorn.” another said.

“Heh, do what you will with us, even if we failed the others surely will succeed in our favor.” one of the bandits snorts.

“The hell do you mean, bastard?” A recruit demands.

“We were supposed to kill the false king’s son and take the sun bitches brat to Lord Blueblood dead or alive, meanwhile the same can be said for the halfbreed little bitch and the moon bitch’s brat. By now they probably killed the half breed and have taken the other so I’d say it’s still our victory.” the other bandit boasts.

"Why does blueblood want prince imperius?" Asked one of the recruits while the prisoner grinned.

"I ain't tellin' you nothin'. "

Beorn however was not as patient as the others, especially since he heard his sister was in danger. The prince marched over to the group of bandits with his dagger and plunged it deep into his shoulder without warning.

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! YOU BUCKER!” The bandit cried in agony.

"This can go two ways." He said coldly while staring into the prisoners eyes.

"You can cooperate and live or you can die slow and I feed you to my fathers wolves."

Beorn violently twisted the knife as it made a crunching sound causing the prisoner to scream louder while the others watched. Some of the officers were rather impressed at his interrogation skills.

“AAAAAAAAHHHHH, OK OK I’LL TALK!" The bsndit screamed, no longer able to bare the pain.

"LORD BLUEBLOOD WANTED TO TAKE THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS SO HE COULD MANIPULATE THEM INTO TURNING AGAINST THE CROWN!"

"And?" Beorn replied while slowly moving the knife around.

"HE ALSO WANTED US TO KILL THE KING OF THE NORTH’S CHILDREN TO SEND A MESSAGE THAT ALL FILTHY CARIBOU SHALL MEET THE SAME FATE SHOULD ANYPONY OPPOSE!” The bandit cried.

“Beorn, our sisters!” Imperius said.

"We have to get back to the castle immediately!”

"No need." Replied one of the guards dragging in another prisoner.

"Just got word from the castle. Seems their little friends messed up."

“What?!” The other bandit yelps.

“But our plan was foolproof! How did they fail?!”

"You underestimated us." Beorn replied before ripping out his knife.

"AGH!! You sick bastard!! What else can you expect from the son of a whore!!!" The bandit shouted making the prince freeze for a moment and a sense of bloodlust filled the air.

"....say that again?"

“You heard me, half breed!” The bandit mocks.

“I’m surprised your slut of a mother doesn’t spread her legs to any stallion she comes across, guess I shouldn’t be surprised she chose a filthy Caribou since Dainn must’ve given it to her good enough for her to be addicted to Caribou cock! Hell I bet you're actually HIS son."

The bandits laughed along with their comrade while the cadets looked at Beorn who seemed to be in a trance. Unable to hold back his anger, the prince lashed out and sliced open the bandits throat, spewing blood onto his face making the others freeze up with fear.

“BEORN STOP!” one of the guards yelled but it was too late. Before anyone could react Beorn lunged at the group with a roar of pure rage. All could only watch in horror as he literally ripped and tore through the bandits leaving a bloody mess in his wake while they screamed and cried out in agony.

“SIR WHAT DO WE DO?!” the gaurd asks his superior erratically.

“KING WULFRIC IS NOT HERE TO CALM HIM DOWN!”

No longer able to watch, Imperius grappled Beorn from behind and proceeded to wrestle him to the ground.

"Beorn you need to calm down!! Guys help me!"

"RRAAAGH!!"

All the recruits, even Top Notch, swarmed Beorn and tackled him to the ground as he struggled to push them all off while still screaming bloody murder.

“That’s enough, Beorn! It’s over, they're not worth it!” A recruit said while wrestling the dagger out of his grip.

“Prince Beorn please! Don’t make us hurt you!” A buck pleads.

“I am sorry Beorn!” Top Notch said.

“It was wrong of me to say such things about you and your father, do not let what they say ring true!”

Beorn struggled furiously against his comrades until his roars slowly turned into sobs. He was crying.

"I hate it..." he cried.

"I hate when they bring up my family's past...when they insult my mother...WHEN THEY SAY I'M REALLY THE SON OF THAT BASTARD DAINN!!"

His tears came flooding as they finally let him up when one of the cadets noticed that the remaining bandits were alive, bruised and beaten to a pulp but alive.

Everyone saw the young Caribou prince sob his heart out and looked at him with pity, no one could say anything for they did not know what to say until they heard someone speak.

“So this is where I sensed that bloodlust.”

Everyone looked around to see the source of the voice until they noticed a shadow from the light of the moon. When they looked up they saw a hooded figure standing on the branch looking down at them.

"Who's there?!" Imperius shouted at the figure.

"If you're here to fight then I suggest you leave..."

The figure merely giggled femininely as it seemed to glide down to the ground. The solders and recruits held up, their gaurd until the figure removed its hood revealing a female changeling as she smiled innocently at them.

“A changeling?” One of the recruits wonders.

“What’s a changeling doing all the way out here?” Another wonders.

Imperius steps towards the young changeling girl as the guards try to follow him but he raises his hands calling them off.

“Who are you? If I may ask.” Imperius questions.

"I am Crysta. Daughter of Queen Chrysalis." She replied catching everyone off guard.

"The queens daughter?!?" A guard shouted frantically before saluting.

“My lady Crysta, it is an honor to meet you!” Another said also saluting.

“But I must ask why are you all the way out here away from your home?”

"Well you see. My mother heard there was trouble so she sent me though..." she paused looking at the beaten thugs.

“These bandits were attempting to foalnap Prince Imperius and kill Prince Beorn,” the gaurd explains.

“The same can be said for Princess Selene and Princess Apple Jewel but they were saved by King Wulfric and Dimitri Lockdrom,” he said earning her interest at the unknown name.

"Dimitri?" She asked curiously

“Oh yes,” Imperius said.

“Dimitri Lockdrom, believe it or not, is a human from an alternate Equestria. He arrived here a week ago from the mirror that resides in the Crystal Empire,” he said shocking Crysta.

"How interesting. I should meet this...human but first i'm here to see if I can help."

Crysta walked over to Beorn who was on his knees unable to look at anyone in the eye as small tears still trickled from his face. Crysta kneeled down to Beorn’s level but he still refused to look up.

"I sense you're in great pain." She said with pity making him look at her.

“I’m…I’m not the son of Dainn,” Beorn said with pain in his eyes.

“I’m the son of Wulfric, so why must others insult me and my family.”

"Pay them no mind. You know who you are." She said with kindness while helping him to his feet.

"My mother said I should get to know you and I must say you have a truly kind heart."

“Am I though?” Beorn wondered.

“This is the second time I let my anger get the better of me and I almost endangered my comrades since my father wasn’t here. The first time is when I’m almost killed Lock and o probably would have had my father not interfered. Those bandits…they said such awful things about my mother, as if she’s been through enough and she still is treated so poorly. Why was I born like this? I never asked to become a berserker…”

"The fact that you show remorse proves your kindness. I'd expect no less from my future husband."

Everything became quiet save for the crickets chirping, then in unison all shouted.

"WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?"

“Wh-yo-I-WHAT?!?” Beorn yelped stumbling backwards.

“F-F-Future husband?! Since when?!“

"My mother said she made the arrangements. She should be arriving at the castle tomorrow."

“But I wasn’t told if this!” Beorn defends.

“Does my father even know?! Besides we don’t even have time for marriage, besides the fact I don’t even know you!”

Crysta only laughed at her fiancè's shocked expression while the rest of the group began to applaud.

"Congrats cadet!" Shouted one of the officers over the applause.

"Wait! Come on guys! Imperius help me out here!"

“You know what they say, Beorn, love comes in all shapes and sizes. Just ask my sister, even if she’s too stubborn to admit it.” Imperius said confusing his friend as he casually walked back to his tent.

"Alright! Everyone settle down." The instructor shouted as the applause stopped.

"Your training is still in effect until we get word from the castle so back to your tents."

The recruits nodded and returned to their tents as the guards disposed of the bodies and kept a close watch on the bandits still alive. Beorn reluctantly sat back down against the tree he was originally Sleeping against with Crysta following suit and leaning against him making the young buck blush but sigh since he couldn’t turn her away.

Father, just what have you gotten me mixed up in to? Beorn thought to himself.

End.
